Goalie Troy Grosenick was among nine players assigned the San Jose Barracuda on Monday, and 2015 first round draft pick Timo Meier was assigned to his junior team as the Sharks made a big reduction to their training camp roster.

Grosenick, who, it seemed, was going to offer some competition to Alex Stalock for the backup goalie spot, made only one appearance for the Sharks in training camp, as he played the first half of San Jose’s first preseason game against the Vancouver Canucks on Sept. 21.

Truth be told, Grosenick could probably use more work in AHL after he was injured for a good portion of the 2014-15 season, playing just 36 games last year and 35 the year before. He’ll get plenty of work with the Barracuda, and have a much better chance of making the Sharks next season when the one-way portion of his contract kicks in.

“I think we know who the goalies are here up here to start, and at the same time, the goaltending here has been excellent,” Sharks coach Pete DeBoer said. “All four guys that played have been really good, so there’s a lot of depth here.”
